Guardian of the Realm

In the house of long life
I will wander.
In the house of happiness
I will wander.
With beauty before me
I will wander.
With beauty above me
I will wander.
With beauty below me
I will wander. In old age traveling
On the trail of beauty
I will wander.
It shall be finished in beauty.

- NIGHT CHANT OF THE NAVAJO

Looking to the Sky, taken in Thousand Hills State Park in Missouri in January, 2003 on Arlo's thirteenth birthday.

Nothing is ever really lost, or can be lost
      No birth, identity, form - no object of the world,
      Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing,
Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere confuse thy brain.
    Ample are time and space - ample the fields of nature.

- WALT WHITMAN

Deep peace of the running wave
to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air
to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth
to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars
to you.
Deep peace of the infinite peace
to you.
